Prraneeth Vuppala vs. Gasparyan,Erik R. - 15th Margaryan Memorial-GM 2025 1/2-1/2
In the 15th Margaryan Memorial-GM 2025 on 2025.01.11, between Prraneeth Vuppala playing with white pieces versus Gasparyan,Erik R. playing with black pieces, a notable move was made by White: Qe5.
This move seems to have missed the opportunity to intensify pressure on Black's position immediately. By not taking advantage of this chance, it appears that White ignored a potential threat and passed up the ability to reveal an attack on a specific piece. However, it also failed to establish a winning tempo, which could have given White more control over the game.
Moreover, the move seems to have hindered White's chances of escaping from any potential attacks that Black might launch. On the other hand, it did defend an attacked piece, making it better protected. Unfortunately for White, this protection was not sufficient for another underdefended piece, as it failed to provide adequate protection for it.
In addition, Qe5 resulted in a pin on Black's opponent's piece, creating a fork that attacks multiple pieces simultaneously. Nevertheless, it missed the opportunity to use this piece more effectively and to develop it further for active play.
Overall, while White did manage to develop their queen, it was unclear if it would be enough to create significant advantages in the game.
